The hard work that Yashasvi Jaiswal has put in to become a cricketer is well known. From staying at Azad Maidan tent to selling food on the streets, the 21-year-old from Uttar Pradesh has done everything possible to keep his dreams alive. And while he has already played for Mumbai in domestic cricket and Rajasthan Royals in the IPL, the maiden Test call-up on Friday for India must have been a sweet experience.
“My father started crying (when he got to know). I have not yet met my mother; I am going to see her in sometime. I was out from the morning, had a practice session as well as some other work,” Jaiswal said to news agency PTI.

Speaking about his selection, Jaiswal revealed how he was nervous the moments before the announcement was made.
“I was a little nervous, till the time you do not get to know that your name is there in the team, there are butterflies. But it is a good feeling.”
“My preparations have been going good and I got to interact a lot with the senior players. The conversation has been very simple – to focus on my work. I learned from them that in the end ‘it is all about you, how you take it going forward’,” said Jaiswal.
